Hey guys, what temp are you finding the Roma .25 is running best around. I have been running around 220. But as this is my first nova, and I keep reading temps around 260 - 280. I have got about 1 gallon through it maybe a little more. I'm in Brisbane Australia, about 74 m above sea level. I use standard no 6 plug with 41021/51020 and 25% fuel.

My BTT didn't wake up till the 2 gallon area. I thought I was gonna need to send it off for some work but then it came to life. Also the temps didn't get up to 250ish till then also. It was weird to say the least. But it's running good and strong now.

.. but the top makes me wanna stick a .38 in my mouth
.. it never gets into the upper rpms.. when i lean it out it goes to 300+ deg and still isnt singing like the other btts's.. but im sure it could bake cookies like no other tho... can anyone help me?im using the stock shimming .08 mm, c6gtc plug, 6.5 restrictor

Mod vs mod the Roma is smoother with a better on track top end...the Roma has more grunt too...The OS does feel more dynamic, but I think the Roma is the faster of the two

Like above mentioned try the 7.5 restrictor, and put the top and bottom flush and retune. try another pipe, I bet you have the 9901 on it.

buggy is my main class of racing just wanna bed able to have some fun on and off the track and am leaning towards the .25 over a .21 for more of fun factor off the track
#3087
so for a buggy for the btt are most guys running the 7.5 restrictor
wouldnt runtime be crap with that size, I have the 6mm but find it 4stroking up top so will give the 6.5 a try to hopefully get that nice screaming sound

your making the engine work harder trying to breath thru such a small venturi...we run a 7.5 - 8 mm mm in the BTT... and our runtime is great .......i am not a believer in using tiny venturi's...its malarky IMHO....your just chocking the engine back....making it work harder to breath and usually use more fuel.............

what kinda work do you do to the engine if you dont wanna let every one ya recipe but a quick rundown on what you do to the roma i know every engine is different and requires different amount of work to to get the same results how would the roma go up against a bontio im after a fun basher/ race motor for my truggy.

every engine is different....my Roma has sleeve timing adjustments, port angle adjustments, head button adjustments and crank timing adjustments.... Would be a pretty huge difference over stock.....especially so on the top end, tho from what I hear the bottom gains a pile too............
